Yesterday, I published an article about https://t.co/0bhBHhWvVa

I want to issue a public correction and a sincere apology for an error.

In that article, I said 500,000 people had signed up. That was incorrect.

It is now 600,000 — and counting.

Real change is coming.

Real change is coming.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Today, after 14 years, I’m resigning from the Labour Party.

Jeremy Corbyn and I will co-lead the founding of a new party, with other Independent MPs, campaigners and activists across the country.

Join us. The time is now.

People did not elect a Labour government to push 50,000 more children into poverty.

My interview on @BBCNewsnight.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The government’s attack on disabled people is utterly despicable.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Disability benefit cuts will push over 250,000 people, including 50,000 children, into poverty.

So I asked the Chancellor —who earns over £150,000, accepted £7,500 in free clothes & took freebie tickets to see Sabrina Carpenter— if Austerity 2.0 is the "change" people voted for?

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

As I’ve said before, the cruel attacks on disabled people by the DWP since 2010 will go down in history as an inexcusable crime —so will this Government’s plans now.

I will be voting against cuts to disability benefits.

My colleagues can & must do so too

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

This government has one last chance to take a progressive path. Otherwise, we’re at the point of no return https://t.co/MQYT5f44tU

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

Earlier this morning I went along to support the demonstration by disabled people campaigning against the cuts in benefits the government is inflicting on them. Shocked at overnight increase in cuts. ⁦@Dis_PPL_Protest⁩

[Lambeth UNISON @LambethUNISON]

Lambeth Labour councillors clapped as they justified the £99 million in cuts that they just voted through. They say they represent the borough by they shred local services as Labour refuses to implement the kind of economic policies that would end austerity.

Library cuts and other protesters outside Lambeth town hall as council discusses budget

[Lambeth UNISON @LambethUNISON]

The public sector is still being wrecked even under a Labour government. Vital services we all rely on are being shredded. Anotehr 99 million in cuts at Lambeth in the next 3 years.

Time to take a stand!

Labour MP Helen Hayes today welcoming news of a ceasefire.

There are few politicians more shameless than Hayes. On the 15th Nov 2023 Hayes declared "My conscience tells me that I must call for a ceasefire today". A few hours later she abstained in the vote for a ceasefire

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

I spoke today to oppose the government’s proposal to cut Winter Fuel Allowance. I voted against this because it will not only cause real hardship for many of my constituents this winter there is a real risk some will die.

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

I’ve just voted against the means-testing of the Winter Fuel payments.

I stand with my constituents in opposing austerity and I will continue to stand up for Poplar and Limehouse — no matter what.

[Hackney South Labour Left @HackneySLeft]

👏 👏 👏

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

I just voted against the means-testing of Winter Fuel Payments.

I cannot stand idly by and see austerity 2.0 implemented.

This is not the change people voted for.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

I just voted against cutting the Winter Fuel Allowance.

For me, this was a matter of conscience. This cut is not only going to cause even greater hardship for so many pensioners in my constituency who are already living in poverty, but it will also cost lives.

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

We need to keep challenging the myth that austerity is necessary and poverty is inevitable. They’re not.

Money can and must be found.
